Committed to promoting the development of children’s nursing through evidence-based information about practice and development

ABPN Scholarships Awards and Prizes

Introduction

A key objective of the ABPN is to promote the art and science of children and young people’s nursing, and to provide facilities for nurses to further their education, skills, and personal and professional development in caring for the needs of sick and well children and young people and their families.
